The file format must be described always at the beginning of the file. The string indicating the current instrument panel file format is
BveTs Instrument Panel 2.01
The character encodingof the file may be described after the file format. If the character encoding is omitted, UTF-8 is used.
For example, the file header of ISO 8859-1 is shown below:
BveTs Instrument Panel 2.01:ISO_8859-1
Text from a sharp ( # ) or a semicolon ( ; ) until the end of the line is a comment, and is ignored.
Setting items are grouped into sections, similar to the INI file.
Cab panel is formed by a combination of the following gauge elements. The instrument elements correspond to sections.
| Section name | Description |
| This | The display area and the base image |
| PilotLamp | A indicator light |
| Needle | A needle |
| DigitalGauge | A circular digital gauge |
| DigitalNumber | A seven-segment display |
Sets the display area and the base image. This section can be defined only once.

Layer = renderingOrder
The rendering order of this image.
Radius = value
The radius of the needle.
InitialAngle =angle
The minimum angle of the needle [deg].
LastAngle = angle
The maximum angle of the needle [deg].
Minimum = value
The minimum physical quantity.
Maximum = value
The maximum physical quantity.
Tilt = angleX, angleY NEW
The angle of the rotation plane of the needle with respect to the vertical plane.
angleX: The pitch angle [deg]. Positive is upward. The default is 0.
angleY: The yaw angle [deg]. Positive is leftward. The default is 0.
StopPin = flag NEW
True if the movable range of the needle is limited between Minimum and Maximum; otherwise, False. The default is False.
NaturalFreq = value
The natural angular frequency of the needle [rad/s].

Minimum = value
The minimum physical quantity.
Maximum = value
The maximum physical quantity.
Tilt = angleX, angleY NEW
The angle of the display surface with respect to the vertical plane.
angleX: The pitch angle [deg]. Positive is upward. The default is 0.
